I know you are thinking of working with forms rather than literal figures and I’ll be the first to cheer you on … but when I see this I can’t help but think what a gift you have for expressing a creature’s essence

Ahhhhh–the feathering at the tail tip, that one down-turned ear, those sturdy front legs, and the amazingly accurate color variations suggesting features. DOG. It’s simply a perfect piece. The staffs with their color patches and the way they are abstracted but still might be figures, the piece at the bottom that might be a bone. PERFECT!

have been out heer..laughing at dogs in the snow..or one it is her first winter and she is thrilled and moving and surprised..right to the point of that instant exhaustion ..where just the act of stopping brings sleep..
and i look at dog and there is Dog..equally real..alive and making trails in her world..i love watching the acts of creation..and am so happy to see where they go..sometimes i see and sometime the end is a tugging at my mind or heart in ways that surprise me ..making me look a different way..but this morning Dog is another small bridge between worlds making me smile with th life within
60 new pullets came monday night and there were many long trips moving the new chickens and the old out of the older smaller coop ..and into one of the high tunnels for the winter..up and down a steep and windy path in the dark..in the frosty snow….with two dogs playing in the snow..the pup bouncing ahead but stopping at the edge of the light cast by the headlights of the kids..surprise when a turn of josh or meadow’ head would move the beams of the path..now so many chickens joyful with the bounty within…
and Dog(s) edging the night. your Dog starting my morning… gentle day to you

i thank you for your words, Liz they hold me up. I don’t know.
I want to look at other ways, see how they go. But you know,
it might not be able to happen. What comes from our hand is not
choice, i think, but simply what comes. I notice often how
certain things have carried through since childhood. No matter
what the medium has been. And it’s the “literal” that i DO LOVE,
amidst the more amorphous forms because that’s kind of what it
IS to me. That i am literal to myself amidst a world of symbols
and forms and colors and shapes.
actually, as i write this without thinking ahead, and see what is
appearing here in this Reply to you, it helps me understand things. I have never said those words above “outloud” before…
THANK YOU!

puppies, yes. how they stop and sleep in one swing of a movement.
60 new pullets come. moving to the high tunnel. up and down
a steep and windy path. in snow. the edge of light cast by
headlights…Oh….!!! i love those headlamps. They are the most
magnificant for people working with animals in the dark. Ingenious.
I have one. I gave my first one to 5 yo Julian for his Toad searching in the dark. Love that Josh and Meadow use these and the dogs
go to that Edge.
So i read of JoyFULL chickens on this Eve eve.
and for us all, this takes place at Breezy Meadows Vt CSA…you can Google it.

Yvette…i haven’t sent it yet. am just now finishing it, but yes, it goes to Wendy’s children when it’s done.
Chinche is good but how it seems to be with dogs. How Old sets in
so fast and then just becomes a kind of momentum. It’s dark in this
moment and i looked and she was not inside on her blanket by the
wood stove. My heart skips beats and i call, really loud out
the door, no Chinche. So i get all “suited up”, jacket, gloves,
hood up and go to door to go look for her and there she is. A
coveted piece of bone in her mouth. In now for the night. There
will come a time when she might not be able to come in by herself.
I know that from still strong memories of the other three little ones. But tho she diminishes, she still Just Goes. I love her.
and YES!!!!! YES i still love you. Did you see the post here of
the 18th called Still? I love you everysinglemorning in my looking at your BeautyFULL Veil…and then i love you all the moments of the rest of the day and evening. I haven’t dreamed of you yet, but i know that will come. Who knows?, maybe tonight.
no. i don’t think we wrote as much. That was when i was thinking that writing much wasn’t ok for blogs. But now, i say…
Why Not????!!!! Everything is Good. So, Why Not?
I do love you, dear Woman. very much.

yes. I begin and it Goes. Sometimes i wake in the night and think,
eeeeeee…what did i WRITE and i come here and look…
so far it’s never been as “bad” as i woke thinking it might have
been,
but also, what is written is my truth in that moment and if it’s
unEasy, well, then…it was, and it was the truth in that moment????
and so it goes.
Yes, Liz….Peace be with you. Thank you for being in my Life.
